Usage Guidelines
Keep the disc tray closed when not using the DVD-ROM drive.
Do not press down on the disc tray when opening or closing it.
Do not place objects on the disc tray.
Never use a damaged, broken, or deformed disc.
Do not press the Eject button while the computer is accessing the disc.
 |
NOTE: High-speed drives spin the
disc at a high rotational speed. If a DVD has printing on only half of the disc, or if
there is a slight imbalance in the DVD, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high
speed, causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects are
inherent in the high-speed technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive. |

Emergency Ejection
 |
CAUTION: The
following procedure is intended only as a last resort when pressing the eject button fails
to open the DVD tray. |

2. Using Emergency Eject
This procedure cannot be repeated without cycling the DVD-ROM’s
(computer's) power.
After the media is removed and the loading tray is closed, the tray will not reopen
without first turning the power ON/OFF.
|
NOTE: Use a bar that is less
than 1.0 mm in diameter.
Do not insert more than 15mm in depth.
Inserting more than 15mm may damage the DVD-ROM drive. |

Cleaning the DVD
Try to avoid touching the read area (underside) of the disc as dirt and
smears will degrade the disc accessing speed.
If the disc becomes dirty wipe it with a damp soft cloth. Avoid cleaning in a circular
motion, but rather from the inner side outward.
Cleaning the Drive
Toshiba does not recommend cleaning the drive.
